The media will play up the "US AGAINST THE WORLD" angle for Flazzu. Oregon will be favored (line opened at -8.5), and Mariota (Christ) vs. Winston (Satan) will fuel hype.
That's as much as I'll say about it.
I think it's as simple as Mariota vs. Winston performances, field goals (Oregon is shaky where FSU is nearly automatic), and turnovers. I don't see either offense having trouble moving the ball.
I'm concerned about Florida State's athleticism on defense, but they haven't shut anyone down this year. Teams have not had trouble running on them this year, and they are not good at getting in the backfield to force sacks (107th in country) or TFLs (52nd).
I feel good about the matchup, but playing a team that "just wins" is concerning.
